Olesya Yakhno, whose biography is quite specific, is a frequent guest on numerous Russian political talk shows. She positions herself as a Ukrainian independent journalist, but this is not entirely true. Olesya - or Alesya - often speaks out against what other program guests are discussing. What is behind these statements - the desire to adhere to the truth or the banal thirst for PR?
Small motherland
Olesya comes from the Vinnitsa region, namely from the city of Nemyriv. This city gave its name to the well-known vodka brand, from which it is mainly supported by roy alties. The distillery was founded in 1872 by Count Stroganov.
There is practically no information about Alesya's parents in open sources. It is only known that they worked in the public service.
On social networks, Olesya prefers to remain silent about her hometown, calling Kyiv her birthplace.
Study
After graduating from high school, Olesya studied at the Kiev Institute of Journalism, which belongs to the National University. Shevchenko. Then for some time Olesya studied atmagistracy.
The next place of study is the Academy of the Tax Service, where she received a degree in public finance.
In 2006 she defended her Ph. D. thesis on the topic: "Ukraine in the modern geopolitical space: political and media aspect". That is, the political scientist Olesya Yakhno (a biography of this is a witness) should be at least an educated and erudite person.
Work activity
Olesya has been known as a journalist since the end of 1990, when she began working as a special correspondent for the Voice of Ukraine newspaper. This is the official printed edition of the Verkhovna Rada, which publishes decrees, resolutions and other documents. That is, the first reports a novice journalist could conduct as much as possible from the meeting room of an official authority.
Since September 2005, Olesya has been director of the Institute of National Strategy of Ukraine. This institute is interested in such important things as the state ideology, communications within the country, branding, internal and external vectors of the state development, political technologies.
How did Olesya Yakhno achieve such success? Biography - namely, existing family ties - provides the answer.
Russian husband
In social networks, Olesya is designated as Yakhno-Belkovskaya. Olesya Yakhno, whose biography is closely connected with Russia, expresses only in words a negative attitude towards a great country.
Olesya's husband is a Russian political technologist, Muscovite Stanislav Belkovsky. Comes from the Polish-Jewishfamilies, a system engineer by education, who received a diploma in Soviet times from the Moscow Institute of Management.
Started in 1985 as a system administrator at a Russian state oil company. Then he became a political consultant, began to work closely with Berezovsky, Khakamada, Vaybeirg and other liberals.
Evil tongues say that it is Berezovsky who owes his popularity and financial freedom. There are persistent rumors that Belkovsky represented the interests of the fugitive in Russia.
Consistently created the APN, the Institute of National Strategy of Russia, collaborates with the Dozhd channel, writes an author's column in Moskovsky Komsomolets. An active blogger, a supporter of the separation of the Caucasus from Russia. Experts note that Belkovsky's main occupation is political outrageousness, the absolutely unprincipled use of any political technologies.
Political scientist Olesya Yakhno, whose biography has been directly connected with the events in Ukraine in recent years, took up her husband's initiative and headed the Institute of National Strategy of Ukraine founded by him in 2004 - just in time for the first Maidan.
Many people call Belkovsky a professional fundraiser or a person who collects funds for specific purposes.
What makes Olesya noticeable
Mainly with their performances on Russian TV channels. Because nothing else can be found - no publications, no logically stated opinion, or at leastquality journalism. There is only a blog that Olesya maintains on Ukrayinska Pravda. Olesya Yakhno, whose biography, whose family assumes at least a good command of the word, allows herself such pearls as "the proletarianization of the intelligentsia", "the gypsy of politicians", "the civilized format of nationalism", "the sin of intellectuality" and the like.
It is extremely difficult to understand what exactly Olesya wants to tell readers. Thoughts wrap around one another, slip and fly away. That is, there are many words, but no meaning. There are only non-negotiable statements like "there is an underclass society in the east."
It seems that there is emptiness inside her. He talks a lot and for a long time, but about nothing. This seems to many viewers Olesya Yakhno. Biography, family, children are separate, and verbal chatter lives on its own.
All this would be funny if Olesya, through her husband, was not involved in the 2004 Orange Revolution. Belkovsky, by his own admission, was Berezovsky's consultant on this event in Ukraine.
The pain, the war and the hardships that we are all going through right now owe much of their origin to the movement that Olesya Yakhno is involved in. Demonstration of the suffering of people does not cause her the slightest movement, which was witnessed by millions of Russian-speaking viewers around the world.
